My Girlfriend Is My Hero

How can I begin to express how proud I am of this special woman? How do I explain my love and proudness and the sheer amount of happiness that I feel around her and with her and for her?

Well, when I think long and hard about this strong, inspirational, golden hearted lady in my life, there's just two words to sum her up......MY HERO!
This summer she pushed through her mental and physical limits and did a whopping 25K Walk and she not only did that but also in a place not familiar to her and the biggest city and capital of the UNITED KINGDOM and that is London!
As you can see she was featured in a post from Girlguiding Cymru!


Her incredible achievement was documented in GG cymru newsletter also.

My Gf also played a pivotal part in saving a nursery from redundancy also.

My girlfriend also lead her unit and did a remarkable job at the Remembrance day parade.
Of course my Girlfriend raised some money having a PJ day at her nursery and got thanked by CHILDREN IN NEED.

I have known her for a decade but it's only been the past year that I have truly KNOWN her. I am so lucky to know her and have her in my life, not just as my girlfriend or best friend or partner but as my hero.
Inside and out she is an inspirational role model and the love of my life and I cannot wait for our future together and to make her my official wife. 

It's been an incredible year babe, keep doing your best, you got this!
All my love, forever and always.

The Wild Robot - Review

After a shipwreck, an intelligent robot called Roz is stranded on an uninhabited island. To survive the harsh environment, Roz bonds with the island’s animals and cares for an orphaned baby goose.
THE WILD ROBOT represents the pinnacle of DreamWorks Animation. A wondrous tale of parenthood, survival, kindness & coexistence in our natural living world. With big-hearted storytelling, plenty of laughs, phenomenal voice acting, and a beautifully epic score that captures the grandeur of Chris Sanders’ vision, it’s a crowd-pleasing & emotionally stirring story that not only deserves to win Best Animated Feature but also to be nominated for Best Picture.

I loved it, the animation was great. I cried at the end. Furthermore, I want another one, please DreamWorks.

Transformers One - Review

The untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies, but once were friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever.
At first glance the faces and animation looked weird, and the trailer looked to be some mediocre kids, fun house BUT then when you sit down and take the movie in, you feel and see how good this really is. 

You know straight away how bad the marketing team did and that they should be ashamed of themselves for showing the wrong things in the trailers and the general audience should feel ashamed for letting this underperform at the box office. 

I watched this twice in 24 hours in two different cinemas and I loved it. I could have done with less Bumblebee's quipping and "Badassatron" but other than that. Megatron and Optimus rise and downfall was so captivating. The music which accompanied this scene was also beautiful, poetic and moving. 

I agreed and rooted for Megatron and then I cheered when Optimus was born and put metal to metal as he took on all the bad bots. We really need another one, there's so much we need to find out of what happens next. The Quintessans have been set up so we could have them face off along with the decepticons and also Unicron.

Transformers fans of all ages and non transformers fans, please give it a chance! 

This is one of my fave movies of the year!

MHA: You're Next Movie - Review!

Alright, it's finally time to sit back and kick butt as our beloved heroes of Class 1A return to the big screen. In the film, taking place after the U.A. Traitor arc of the manga, Izuku Midoriya faces a villain who tries to imitate the hero that Izuku has long admired the most.

For me, this is the weakest film in the series. It really should have released before the final season.

It's really good don't get me wrong, it's a love letter to class 1A, and it's lovely to see everyone get some spotlight.

Seeing the 3 musketeers fight side by side was hype, and I feel that's something that was cut from the last film. Should have ended the fight with "We are Here".

Animation and music was class. English dub cast do a fantastic job as ever. Dark Might and his family of goons was pretty cool. The mixture of quirks and alchemy was neat.

Pretty funny film and great side characters with Julio and Anna being the integral part of the story.

Before the final fight we do have a stand-off, and it left me in awe but also thinking "oh this isn't Dekus most powerful smash" then we have a bonus fight, and I was like "Jesus Christ that was Dekus powerful smash yet" as he broke a frigging island in half.

For me, nothing has topped the second film, I love that one so much. I do hope we get one more film, but I'm not quite sure where they will fit it in the timeline of events.

Joker Folie A Deux Review


The World Is A Stage. 
Joker folie a duex aka Joker: Madness For Two, it really should have been titled "
Joker 2: The Jokes On You".

5 years ago we were gifted the highest grossing R rated film in cinema history which was based upon a DC Comics character with a brand-new spin on things but also a film documenting mental health and the struggles of one with such disorders. It was a social study, a character study. It's absolutely amazing and gripping and ended with a smile.

Although we were told "Arthur is not THE JOKER" he is the predecessor, a mentally sick man who has a bad day and things get tipped on their head and the man who's seen as a joke gets dubbed live on TV as a JOKER so he takes it upon himself with pride to embrace and show to the world all the corruption and wrong doings of the world and the abuse that has rotten his mind and the mental conditions he suffers including his inappropriate timed infectious laughs. Keep in mind we were told he's not the one who's going to be the clown prince of crime, we were set up with the fact of there's a guy out there in Gotham who has inadvertently inspired someone to take the mantle up in the future and be the worst thing to happen to Gotham.

Yes Arthur Fleck story is very similar to Jack Napier's aka The Real DC Joker but with changes, this too is the same for one Harleen Quinsel. Oops, sorry, she's just Lee Quinsel in this. This film is taken from Arthur's mind as we switch in-between realities of him being a prisoner, him facing trial and finding love and then eventually coming out and admitting to his wrong doings and telling people he's not The Joker, and they shouldn't idolize him, he's not the symbol that the manic mob is seeking out, which does deter some of his fans. Although he still has a small loyal following, but I'm sure after this film ends they will disperse and wait until THE REAL JOKER appears.

Todd Phillips captured gold in the first story and logically thinking you could argue this film was made as a statement to fans of Arthur and the first Joker as a deterrent to say "Don't idolize this person. Don't be like this person. What you may relate to in that film I will make sure to tell you in the sequel how that's terrible and something you should not be doing and looking up to" and I will applaud him for that. I have questions about the ending, but I'm not sure if we will ever get answers.

Music, acting and cinematography is brilliant. The haunting score of the first does appear at times, but the new musical parts take over, and I feel personally that they should have mapped the musical elements out a lot better. I would have personally taken the direction differently.

The court scenes with The Joker were a highlight. Any scenes Arthur embraces that Joker stood out best to me. It did at times slow down a lot, and I was falling asleep, but I can also blame it on a late night and early morning I had.

Overall, Joker 2 is a whopping disappointment. It's not as bad as I had heard, but it's also not anywhere near as good as the first one. Go into it expecting it's bad, and you'll either hate it some more or you'll see the same as me.
Thanks for reading!
